OMG IT'S BUST REVOLUTION! Now that they introduced her, and they mentioned the marriage in the preview, there's a possibility for a 3rd season. They introduced Tiffania, and they have alot of material to work with and depending on the budget and fanbase, they HAFTA MAKE A THIRD SEASON PPL! Yup... this episode shows louise/saito development... sorta... and we get to see Siesta's antics again ^^ and this follow the novels a bit better so this gets credit.

yes it is, and it all depends on sub group, because all of this subs are from people who likes to do it, they don't need to do it, they don't get paid, so as long as it subbed i really don't care when

You know, they could have just added her because of that fact that they won't have another chance --- thats also a factor we have to keep in mind.

I thought this was an excellent episode, I'm usually very happy with the episodes as long as they focus at least partially on the main couple. This episode managed to focus on both their relationship and differences as well as progress the main plot a bit. Lousie in a cat-costume and Siesta in a bunny-suit? No complaints here! I was actually happy to see Guiche again, as obnoxious as he can be. Too bad there's only one episode left, but it seems most of you are optimistic about a third season, so that's a relief.

To tell the truth I do not think the animation staff is able to wrap things up coherently for this season. And absolutely I do not want Zero no Tsukaima concluding with full of plot holes everywhere like Rozen Maiden Traümend

Barely, we have seen the surface glass of the war against Albion, and Sheffield's goal, other than having Henrietta killed, have not been hinted at except for the Ring of Andvar.

Spoiler:

I am curious as well if Sheffield is also a Gandalfr or her familiar is one like Saito as well, since she also possess runes on her forehead like Saito's on his right wrist.

I really wished to see her in action and just acting as another shrewd politician. Even if we can a little bit of her in action for the last episode, I think it would be little too late.

Someone drive a stake through my hear, I mean I'm serious.

They cheapened into a mess the value of Scarron and her daughter as recurring comical characters.

Spoiler:

They guy went from absurdly freak to plain gross, and don't you think it is a farfetch'd that the only way to give those two a bit of screentime is by pulling the classical device about being the hidden relatives to another recurring character loved so much?

C'mon! They were total strangers the previous season, and now they pulled out that they're Siesta's relatives! I can't believe it.

Oh, well! At least Saito and the other guys took a great peep at Siestas' treasures so all can die in bliss.

Aside of any comparison with the novel, it was fairly great that they kept the very unstable discussion between Saito and Louise about "dying in honor".

This is probably the most important part of the episode as it contributes to the whole SaitoxLouise relationship. Unfortunatly, as others have said, perhaps too little, too late to save this season?

the big complain for this episode is probably Siesta's personality

Not having read any of the novels, I can't comment on how she compares to the original but I still agree. I really liked Siesta in season 1 and almost hoped for a SaitoxSiesta ending. Now in season 2, however, I almost dislike her. The sweet, gentle girl from last season was relpaced by a pushy, selfish plot device.

Strangely enough, my opinion of Louise has undergone exactly the opposite transformation. In the first season I really didn't like her. She was spoiled, cruel and unjustifiably arrogant without enough character development to excuse that. In this season, while she is still somewhat the same on the surface, we see much more of her loving side, which now makes her actually likable. The scene with her talking to Saito's sword was an excellent example of why. Even the catgirl costume, while funny, was actually kind of touching at the same time, that she would do that for Saito.

There is much more to the story. I'm betting on a third season.

Lots of series endings set up more seasons that never get made. What it really comes down to is how financially successful this season is. Going by the general buzz on the interweb, there are a lot of dissatisfied fans right now, but on-line complaining does not always reflect poor sales, so we will have to see.

Still, after all this wasted time, I honestly can't see how they can bring this season to a satisfactory ending in just 20 more minutes.

The ending is definitely picking up pace which is catching my interest, but still not enough to save this show. This episode did remind me of Season 1 of ZnT, but honestly, I don't care anymore about this series anymore. I just want they to finish it off and start releasing SnS II.

Urge to kill.....rising.
j/k

Still hoping for a 3rd season though.

Spoiler:

I'd like to see Tiffania animated, at least. And no, that black figure doesn't count

Season 2 seems so disjointed and rushed at times while slow at others.

Anyway...

Episode 11 was kinda meh for me, prolly because I watched the first half without sound while feigning interest in a phone conversation.

Saito is irking me a bit with his goody-goody diatribes. Probably because I come from a military family where it's very honorable to serve your country (but, as Patton said, the object of war is not to die for your country...) and make it home alive. No sense uselessly throwing your life away.

Hopefully the final episode of this season will make up for some of the shortcomings of the season overall.

The thing I find interesting is that this series has always had a lot of outspoken "interweb" critics. I especially remember all the vocal critics in the first season, saying that the anime was a complete travesty and nothing like the novels. Apparently it still sold well enough to warrant this second season. And now, there's still a lot of discent, but a lot of it is from people who liked the first season. So really, who knows what that means for sales. Personally, I'll be buying the R2 DVDs again, just as with the first season, but that's just me.
